  1. I have a 20 gallon long tank with 7 ember tetras, shrimp, and two bristle nose pleco.  The tank has live plants.  What are these flea looking creatures and how can I get rid of them.  There are so many of them living in the tank.  Some have managed to get into my 75 gallon I guessing from moving plants around.  The problem is not so bad in the 75 gallon I am assuming due to larger fish and the team of Cory's.  Any help is much appreciated.20231008_102619.jpg.fb497cf3294577f6d507bbf946bf9e9c.jpg

    @Joe V is that methylene blue "PIMAFIX" ?? or something else?? 

    I didn't like the PIMAFIX to much, which is a natural tree oil.  The methylene blue I am using is branded Kordon.  I am giving it a try to see how it works.  This current batch of eggs is smaller and I might have to wait for a bigger batch to really be able to compare the two products.

    Please document your experience with using Pimafix for this use! It's very poorly regarded as a treatment for fish but perhaps it will be useful in this scenario. I know that @yannachka has done a moderate amount of research on the product.

    Might explain why it was on sale 😞

    Is that a blood parrot in the tank? I was interested in getting one. Do you think it could get along with platies?

    Small blood parrot might get along with platies for a while until they out grow them.  I would keep a close eye on it.  The two I have can be a little bit of a bully. They will eat anything that will fit in there mouth.

    You should just use methylene blue or another anti fungal solution then. 

    I was looking for that at a local store.  I found API PIMAFIX.  I will add that now to the container.  Thank you for the help.
